Pumped? Not so much

We hate waiting five minutes to see a ruling reversed in a football game. Now you're telling us we have to go back five years and take another look at the AL MVP voting and the home run standings? Try to figure out whether the Texas Rangers should have sucked more than they actually did? We'd rather get out the big ladder and clean out the rain gutters -- with our tongues.

We're sorry, but the whole bust-the-juicer scenario doesn't do much for us. Finding out A-Rod was putting his testicles under the shrink ray in exchange for a bigger bat and greater glory may change things going forward, but it's not going to change much going back, especially in the standings, which is all we really care about. The Rangers were last in the AL West in 2001, 2002 and 2003 -- it's not like they can drop any further. Besides, MLB isn't like the NCAA, where teams' names get wiped from the basketball tourney ledger (1971 was a banner year, for example -- two of the four team in the Final Four were "vacated" and "vacated"). What was, is.

Two questions, though: Would a never-tainted A-Rod have choked harder than the tainted version in the Yankees' postseasons, or not choked as hard? We're not sure on how the polarity works there. Also, why did A-Rod bring his ex to the ESPN interview? The public humiliation on its own just wasn't enough?
